take yoga

I surprised myself yesterday while I was walking down in New Westminster, just minding my business with no real reason to be there. I was approaching the Bikram Yoga College of India that’s located outside of Columbia Skytrain, the one I’ve been wanting to go to, and I went in. I’ve been in before to do the usual “grab a pamphlet, ask a question and leave” routine, but I took it one step further. I actually signed up this time! :D

Right now I have 2 weeks of unlimited classes for $30, and afterward it’s $18 a drop-in or I can get a monthly package. I don’t know how often I’ll be able to go, but I’m hoping for twice a week between devoting time to bellydance and my sewing course as well. I’m excited because this means that I have to go – I’ve already spent the money. I’m a little nervous because it’s hot yoga, so I’m not going to go until I get my water intake back up (probably 1-2 weeks I’m assuming, that’s how long it took last time).

I have everything I need already, so all I really have to do is go.

It was a really cool experience. I was the only one there but my teacher Lisa, was really nice and informative. She said my form was really good and that she didn’t really need to help me at all. This may be a weekly ritual for me to get out of the house on the weekends.

Got a Yoga mat for $10 at Walmart,WHAT A BARGAIN.
Now for the class part.

Yo-gatta do yoga! Yoga to me seems very appealing right now, but I just can’t seem to get myself up and exercising. Sure I complain about being overweight and not being as physically fit as I want to be, but something is keeping me from doing it. Unrealistic expectations…

I want to take yoga in combination with my bellydance to increase my flexibility. I especially want to take hot yoga, because it just screams out to me. I keep putting off signing up, and I think that I’ve put it off for long enough.

Ok, I’m staring at my yoga mat right now and telling myself I need to do this, for me! But exercise seems so painful to me right now. I need a video too. Does anyone have a video recommendation?

Ciao

something so relaxing muct be good. I wanna’ give it a try.

Since i joined the university i now have access to free yoga classes…no signing up just drop in whenever! i cant wait :]

It has been marvelous for my physical and mental health. I’ve been going 3-4 x a week for a while now (which is a lot), only recently taking a break because of some health problems that will hopefully clear up VERY soon! I miss you, yoga!

I was regretful i didn’t take any yoga classes in India. I hope one day I can lead a healthier life by taking yoga class.
